He has an older brother who takes after their father, but he was born with a twin sister, Eleanor. When they were nine, Eleanor drowned while playing by one of the city beaches, and ever since Ethan has been deathly afraid of bodies of water.At the age of fourteen, Ethan began to develop the ability to use sorcery, and his parents enrolled him in a private school that would prepare him for the entrance exam to get into a prestigious academy of mechanical combat and wizardry. He learned his lessons well, and when the time came, Ethan passed with flying colours.In the same port city than Ethan grew up in, there lived an old mecha engineer who had retired from the service of the kingdom. His last work was a mecha that would be come to known as Aegir, named for a mythical giant who ruled the seas. Standing about fifteen feet tall, it had a very thick frame, giving it a somewhat hulking appearance. Each piece was loving crafted by the old man with the help of his few apprentices. In a way, it was a tribute to his home, and though not on the same scale of size or power as many of the mecha he had worked on, it was perhaps the most perfectly crafted. Aegir was covered with blue enamel, the colour of the ocean water, except for its shoulders, head and centre chest plate, coloured white to give it an overall look of a cresting wave. Armed with a great spear of seaweed green, it was a visual masterpiece.When it became known to the old man that a boy from town, Ethan, would be going to the academy, the old engineer knew that it was the boy who should pilot his last mecha. No one from that city had qualified for the specialized training in nearly ten years, and it almost seemed fated that he had completed his work just in time to send the mecha to the academy with the boy. He just hoped that Ethan would have the sense to put Aegir to good use.</blockquote>
